A stunning new barn wedding venue "with a twist" is opening next month just outside of Hull.

Bunny Hill Weddings is located in 12 acres of countryside between Hull and York, close to South Cave and Holme-on-Spalding-Moor.

Described by its owners as a high-end hidden gem, the venue can be hired exclusively by couples who can get married either outside under the magnificent oak arbour or indoors, beneath an archway of freshly cut flowers.

The venue has its own woodland walk and helping to get the party started is an LED dance floor and stage with state of the art sound system.

Included in the price of venue hire, the woodland will be strewn with festoon lighting, the courtyard will be alight with atmospheric oil burning torches, there will be easels for table plans and a dedicated wedding co-ordinator to ensure each wedding day runs smoothly.

"We've tried to create the freedom of a barn wedding but with the service and polish of a hotel," said Sharon Wood, the owner.

"It's exclusive and elegant like a hotel, but without the price per head packages.

"It all started when my daughter was planning her wedding and couldn't find a venue which ticked all the boxes.

The venue opens in August

"She didn't want a working farm or somewhere with a cafe and wanted exclusive use, so we began converting the barn at the front of our house a few years ago, and before we knew it we had spent hundreds of thousands of pounds.

"I’ve worked really hard on the business model and tried to provide something that is completely unique, that is high-end and can be used exclusively."

Mrs Wood, who previously ran a theatre school, said enquiries have been coming in thick and fast since their Facebook page was created.

"I've let people know that we are not finished yet, but couples have been coming for viewings and have been attracted by the fact we are a couple of miles away from a road, so it feels isolated, yet we are only 20 miles from Hull and 20 miles from York.

"There must be a real shortage of this type of venue in Hull because most of our enquiries are from this area. The demand is there and they’ve loved the idea of being exclusive and not a working farm.

"We have that countryside feel but without tractors. We want it to feel like a home from home. If you book a wedding in stately home you can feel like you’re intruding."

The barn at Bunny Hill Weddings

The barn can seat 180 and has capacity for 300 plus evening guests. Its size offers the flexibility to plan seating arrangements around styling.

Both ends of the barn lead out onto patio areas with peaceful, rural vistas complimented by soft seating and patio heaters.
